Beverley RUFC will be keeping an anxious eye on the weather over the next few days in the hope that the forecasters are wrong and the prediction of more heavy snow and ice for Friday and the weekend will not materialise.
They are due to visit table topping Stockport for the National 3 (North) fixture on Saturday, for their first action since mid November.
They will be without first choice scrum half Chris Infield who will be working in Australia for the remainder of the season and this will also be the final match for stand off Phil Duboulay who is taking three months off to go travelling. Both of these two will be missed but Coach James McKay is convinced that the Beavers have good replacements for them.
On the plus side Fraley Hopa is poised to return to the club and will add much needed strength to the lineout. It is not certain that he will be available for Saturday, since Hull RUFC have yet to confirm that they are agreeable to his move.
Beverley RUFC v Stockport (away) kick off 2.15 p.m. Coach leaves at 10.45.
